Activity and Achievements

During three years of its activity the CoE AMAS has executed the planned education and training programme by organizing a number of short-term advanced courses, specialized workshops, inviting outstanding foreign scientists to deliver intensive courses included in the programme of doctoral studies at IPPT.

Impact on scientific integration

• is the coordinator of a 6FP Network of Excellence project retained for negotiation after the second stage positive evaluation by EC.

• coordinates the International Scientific Network on Advanced Materials and Structures

• is a coordinator or partner in over 10 projects of different type instruments of 6FP submitted in the AMAS research area

Due to CoE AMAS inspiration, the home Institute (IPPT) :

• Centre of Excellence Applied Biomedical Modelling and Diagnostics (ABIOMED) – Prof. J.J. Telega

multi-disciplinary area of applied and theoretical modelling and designing in modern biomechanical and bioengineering research.

• Centre of Excellence for Laser Processing and Material Advanced Testing (LAPROMAT) – Prof. L. Dietrich

innovative laser processing techniques, modern strength testing techniques.

„Knowledge-based Multicomponent Materials for Durable and Safe Performance”

(KMM-NoE)

Coordinator organisation: Institute of Fundamental Technological Research PASCoordinators: Prof. Wojciech K. Nowacki

Prof. Krzysztof DolińskiProf. Michał Basista

The Network of Excellence KMM-NoE is being proposed by 40 partners representing leading European research institutes, university

departments, SMEs and industry - from 12 countries.

Retained for negotiation after the second stage positive evaluation by EC.

The primary goal of the proposed NoE is to create a coherent pan-European structure of key academic and research institutions, SMEs and large industrial partners in the field of knowledge-based multicomponent materials designed for safe and durable performance in highly demanding loading and environmental conditions:

• complex thermo-mechanical loadings,• impact loading,• cyclic loading,• large deformations,• high strain rates,• high temperature regimes,• aggressive chemical environment and combinations thereof.

Institute of Fundamental Technological Research

The representatives for such knowledge-based multicomponent materials are novel:

·  functionally graded materials involving knowledge-based grading of metal and ceramic constituents,

·  thin layers of highly resistant materials deposited on the base materials to extend their performance limits,

·   metal-ceramic composites designed to sustain complex thermo-mechanical loading or adverse physico-chemical environment,

·  intermetallics a new generation of low-density, high melting-point materials for multisectoral applications.
